Taken at the 2001 NFL Skills Competition prior to the Super Bowl, this is one of the better “where are they now?” pictures you’re going to see for quite sometime.

— Quincy Carter was drafted by my Dallas Cowboys at quarterback during the incredibly dark, Dave Campo, 5-11 days of the franchise.

— Reggie Wayne is catching passes from Peyton Manning (possibly Kerry Collins). Meanwhile, his teammate, Santana Moss, has had a good career being consistent as the Redskins best receiver during his tenure in Washington.

— Drew Brees actually has a Super Bowl ring and is one of the better players in the league. Former Saint, Deuce McCallister, had a good career until injuries caught up with him.

— David Terrell was one of those wideouts I thought would put in work in the NFL, but turned out to be Peter Warrick 2.0. His teammate, Anthony Thomas, was a beast at Michigan a decade ago and I bet you don’t even remember he won Rookie of the Year in 2001. Now, he’s a stay-at-home dad; a role he’s perfectly content with.

— Freddie Mitchell had one play worth mentioning in his entire NFL career and made his 15 minutes of fame last for 22.

— And last but not least, Jonathan Beasley looks like the first coming of Drake.

People write “LOL” with reckless abandon but that Drake comment got me man.

Quincy could have been great – too bad drugs got him. He was an intelligent QB with skill.

Santana Moss surprised me. I thought he was/would be a fluke. I was wrong.

Deuce McCallister? Beast/workhouse who could carry the load – until as you said, injuries got the best of him.

Freddie? Sanitation (with a loud mouth that only trash came out of).

David Terrell? Will not even go there.

(Great post!)

Q.C. was on the come-up during the Parcells era, too bad the weed overtook his career. Thats a hell of a Cowboys memory right there.

Lmao…also a Cowboys fan, but he took us to the playoffs and he wasn’t horrible. Not great, but not horrible. I mean we had Vinny Testaverde as the starter after him…i’d take QC over Vinny back then lol.

Deuce will always get love from the N.O. He was there through the bad years.
